Why Claremont Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and still answers his own phone. When you call, you get him or someone he trained personally, not a call center reading from a script. That matters a lot to folks in Claremont who’ve already been burned by a national chain that quoted one price over the phone and a different number at the front door.
Our crews work regularly along Indian Hill Boulevard, through the Craftsman bungalow blocks near the Colleges, and up into the foothill communities north of Baseline Road. Those neighborhoods each have their own way of failing after a fire or a storm, and we’ve learned what to look for. The work is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written onto every Claremont Water Damage Restoration, fire, and mold restoration contract. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s in writing.
We show up with professional equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry, and every technician is background-checked and uniformed. IICRC-certified work, no subcontractor roulette. You’ll recognize the truck when it pulls up.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Claremont
Water Damage Restoration
Burst supply lines, slab leaks under 1920s bungalows, water heaters letting go in the garage: all of it needs the same first move, which is extraction running before the water wicks up drywall. In Claremont’s older housing stock, that clock moves fast because original plaster and single-pane windows don’t breathe the way newer builds do.
Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Claremont.
Mold Remediation
Hidden mold behind plaster walls and under original hardwood is common in Claremont’s pre-war homes, especially after a slow leak nobody noticed for weeks. We contain the affected area, find the moisture source, and remove the mold with our Mold Remediation in Claremont instead of just painting over it.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Soot and ash from the San Gabriel foothills work their way into attics, return-air intakes, and every soft surface in the house. Smoke damage is never just cosmetic, and we treat it as Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration - Claremont, a full contents-and-structure job rather than a wipe-down.

Storm & Disaster Restoration
When a Santa Ana wind event tears off shingles and drives rain through vent gaps, or a debris flow pushes mud against a foothill foundation, the damage stacks fast. We handle Claremont Storm & Disaster Restoration: tarping, water extraction, structural drying, and whatever comes after.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage backups in older Claremont neighborhoods are a health hazard, not just a mess. We remove contaminated water and materials, sanitize the affected area, and give you a written scope before any work goes further.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
These are the jobs nobody wants to think about until they need them. We handle them with discretion and proper disposal, and we treat every one as though the family next door is watching, because they usually are.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After mitigation comes the rebuild: drywall, flooring, paint, cabinetry. Wade’s team does the full return-to-home, priced in writing and scheduled like a remodel, not an emergency.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Claremont
We’re familiar with the whole 91711 ZIP code and can usually have a crew on scene within the hour for water and fire calls. Foothill addresses take a little longer just because of the roads, but Wade heads out the same way you’d expect a neighbor to.

Why Claremont’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Claremont sits two-thirds flat, one-third up against the San Gabriel Mountains, and that split matters more than most people realize. Homes along the northern edge above Foothill Boulevard and Baseline Road face a compound threat. A wildfire in the mountain canyons doesn’t have to come close to burn the inside of a house: the Santa Ana winds push fine soot and ash through ridge vents, gable gaps, and return-air intakes. A month later that same house can get hit by mud and debris flowing down the slopes the fire left bare. We’ve documented sequences like this in north Claremont more times than we can count, and it’s the reason we tell owners up there to have us check twice in one season: once after the fire, once after the first big storm.
Down in the flats and around the Colleges, the risk profile changes completely. Those 1920s and 1930s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes have original plaster, old galvanized plumbing, and window frames that leak when a rain-driven Santa Ana gust hits them sideways above 60 mph. Water intrusion in those houses doesn’t announce itself. It hides in wall cavities until the mold has already started. That’s why our moisture readings are daily and why Wade hands you the full log when the job wraps. Almost nobody else does that.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Claremont
In most of Claremont, we can have extraction running inside an hour. Foothill addresses above Baseline Road may take a bit longer due to the winding streets, but we keep the same urgency. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will tell you exactly when the truck is rolling.
In most cases, yes: smoke, soot, and ash infiltration from a nearby wildfire is a covered peril under standard homeowner policies. Wade talks to your adjuster directly, sends them the moisture and soot documentation they need, and makes sure the claim reflects the actual damage, not a phone estimate. Call us and we’ll walk you through it before you ever sit on hold with your carrier.
For visible surface mold on non-porous material, a cleaning can work. But mold in drywall, plaster, or insulation, or mold that keeps coming back, means there’s a moisture source still active. Cleaning the surface won’t fix that. We’ll inspect, tell you what we found, and give you a written scope before any work begins. If you already have a written estimate from someone else, bring it to us. We’ll give you a free second opinion.
Downslope gusts over 60 mph push embers, ash, and rain through vent gaps, old window seals, and roof transitions. That creates two completely different damage types: smoke and soot infiltration during fire season, and wind-driven water intrusion during rainstorms. Our dried-in structural repairs and HVAC duct checks are built around the fact that Claremont’s winds don’t act like the wind in flatland cities to the south.
Yes. When you call (855) 915-0646, you get a live person, and often that person is Wade Ferris himself. He’s owned the company since 2007, he works the same county you live in, and he’ll be at the hardware store the same Saturday you are. That’s the accountability system we run on.

What Claremont Customers Say
"The first company I rang wanted to tear out the hardwood immediately. Wade said if he could get it dry in seventy two hours it would come back, and it did. Saved us the floor and a great deal of money."
- Esperanza Villarreal"Supply line let go under the sink while we were away for the weekend and we came home to two inches through the whole ground floor. Wade had extraction running within the hour of my call and he was the one who answered it."
- Marianne Kilbride"He gave me the daily moisture log at the end, on paper, with the readings from every point. I have never had a trade prove the job was actually finished before."
